The Herter family spends time in the summer at Sunny Hill, a nudist camp from where they knew Bonnie Smith. Roger Bishop was unaware that the Herters were nudists until attempting to introduce Bonnie and Catalina.CAT7"It's not the sort of thing you breeze around town," Amber chimed in. "I'd catch pure hell at school if it got out that my family is all nudist. I'd never hear the end of the smart remarks, the teasing, and not to mention the wandering hands and small minds."CAT7
